Cps hack

[eefano]

Little hack, you can change the global inner clock with the cps() control function. Very dangerous but very satisfying. You can bring the cps to 0 and stop the playback, also. Negative numbers work in theory (the pianoroll goes in reverse) but no correct audio is produced.

Practical example:

I don't think this is a hack.. this partly fixes https://github.com/tidalcycles/strudel/issues/51

You could also use this like s("bd hh").cps(saw.slow(4).range(.1,1)) which looks less hacky. To make this complete, I'd say 2 things are missing:

• the .cpm function needs to use .cps internally, so patterning .cpm also behaves like expected
• setcps and friends also need to work with a pattern

When https://github.com/tidalcycles/strudel/pull/1004 is merged, this one probably needs to be updated to use this.setCps..

Yes tidal has this functionality too.

Based on my experience with tidal, there could be problems when the cps changes part way through a frame. This can result in events getting doubled up or missed.
